Important booking information
By booking you accept our terms. For guided tours with a fixed date there is no statutory right of withdrawal (Section 312g (2) No. 9 of the German Civil Code, BGB). Our scaled cancellation policy applies instead (see terms and withdrawal notice).
Rur season: due to nature-conservation rules, Rur tours can only be booked from July 15 to February 28. The Heimbach Reservoir is available year-round.
Maximum flexibility: with Stornoflex (€4.90 reservoir · €9.90 Rur, per person) you get the full tour price back if you cancel up to 48 h before the tour. The Stornoflex fee itself is non-refundable. Just add it when booking.
If we have to cancel: in case of safety-relevant weather, critical water levels or too few participants, you choose freely: money back, voucher or free rebooking.
